The National Anthem of Germany: A Symbol of Unity and History
A Glimpse into the Making of 'Das Lied der Deutschen'
Paragraph 1:
Germany's official national anthem, "Das Lied der Deutschen" ("Song of the Germans"), holds immense historical significance. Originally titled "Deutschlandlied," it became the anthem of the German Empire in 1922. After Germany's division, it continued as the anthem of West Germany from 1950 to 1990, and upon reunification in 1990, it became the anthem of the present-day Federal Republic of Germany.
